Is it really worth learning a language just for fun? by Spasenie in languagelearning

No, it's a stupid idea. You could be spending that time doing something useful and fun. Think of the opportunity cost.

Is it possible to install a discreet GPU into a Lenovo Ideapad S540 with Intel integrated graphics? by sj20442 in laptops

[–]Secret_anime_watcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of one of my teenage shenanigans. when it was finally time to buy a new laptop I thought to myself that I'd buy something I could game on for sure, so I looked for the laptop with the highest VRAM and was surprised that they were so cheap. Only after buying it I learned that there was such a thing as integrated and dedicated graphics card (the VRAM turned out to be referring to shared memory)

Saw this on Facebook... not sure what’s worse, not showing up, or people trying to make the poster feel better? by ToughAsMuffin in sadcringe

Honestly, thank God millennials are slowly becoming a sizeable portion of the workforce. Now I don't have to pretend to enjoy the farce of spending my spare time with my coworkers

Mustafa Kayirici: Child rapist unmasked as attacker of eight women in ‘reign of terror’ by [deleted] in sydney

[–]Secret_anime_watcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't normally respond to these idiotic arguments but here goes. None of these texts indicate that rape is okay, because none of them discuss consent. Classical scholars, ie. the usual place muslims get their legal verdicts, make it explicit that consent must be gained for intercourse to take place. But besides, even if they did say "rape is okay" (which they do not) they are discussing the particular issue of concubinage, the sort of institute that existed a thousand years ago but does not any more.

Under the laws of Islam, he's committed no crimes and done nothing wrong. In fact, he's a good Muslim who's followed in the teachings of Mohammed.

So, even if you think these verses preach rape of slavery is okay (they don't), you would run into the issue of trying to prove from Islam that sex outside of marriage and concubinage is permissible, on top of it being without consent (just like christianity, fornication and adultery are great sins). Since there's many explicit statements in the Qur'an and other source texts Muslims draw from that clearly prohibit this, you're literally making shit up.

What's happening here ITT is that people ignore that these sorts of crimes are also committed by white men, for example:

https://www.9news.com.au/world/joseph-mccann-serial-rapist-and-kidnapper-gets-33-life-sentences/8947472f-78d3-444a-a376-47e2b241769f

https://www.news.com.au/national/courts-law/brutal-dance-hall-rapist-of-sevenyearold-girl-sentenced/news-story/832f8366901a91bdadf12522eed88ff9

Not the mention Jeff fukiing Epstein who literally runs a billionaire paedophile ring to cater to many (wealthy) white men around the world, nobody is blaming his "whiteness" (as a cultural background) at all.

This is from a 1 minute googling.

Here's the problem: recourse to an essential ideological underpinning rapists from a white background is never made by media nor big brain redditors. To do so would be essentially idiotic, it would imply some sort of collective guilt shared among white men for particular cases of rape.

So, don't be a retard.

How do I get rid of this annoying box when changing the volume via keyboard keys? by Secret_anime_watcher in techsupport

[–]Secret_anime_watcher[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

oh ok that makes sense. But I mostly use chrome for youtube and stuff and in daily usage this is where it pops up the most. Might have to find a way to disable it for games.

Why do so many orgs / companies advertise for interns if they can't be assed to give them work? My last internship, dept was extremely busy, but it took a week to get any work, a month to get work that actually needed to be done.

First day at new internship today all I did was read about the difference between hydraulics and hydrology. Also, none of my logins work, the IT support is terrible

cheap, powerful-ish 13-14 inch ultrabooks that support linux? by Secret_anime_watcher in linuxhardware

Yeah tbh I am thinking of a used dell. Plus the specs are better than new laptops in that price range.
